1892.] FROGS IN THE INDIAN MUSEUM. 343 



upper eyelid, and the longer legs ; its aspect, too, is different, owing 

 to the eyes being normally placed, instead of being prominently 

 turned upwards. 



Besides the original type, which was procured by Stoliczka at 

 Murree, in the Himalayas, at an elevation of 6000 ft., there is a 

 second specimen in the Indian Museum presented by Lieut. Newn- 

 ham, and procured near Simla. The figure is taken from the 

 former specimen, the type of the species. 



2. Rana liebigii, Giinth. ; Boulenger, Ind. Rept. p. 445. 



This species has not been known to occur west of Nepal, whence 

 came the type. There is, however, an example in the Indian Museum 

 from Tavoy in Southern Burma, which extends its geographical 

 range considerably beyond what has hitherto been known. 



3. Rana fe^, Boulenger, Ann. Mus. Genova, (2) v. 1887, p. 418, 

 pi. iii. ; id. Ind. Rept. p. 446. 



Among the Frogs of the Indian Museum I have found a second 

 specimen of this species. This was procured at Hotha in Yunan 

 by Dr. J. Anderson, but was apparently not described by him in 

 his ' Scientific Results of the Yunan Expedition.' 



4. Rana assamensis, sp. n. (Plate XXIV. figs. 2, 2 a.) 



Vomerine teeth in two strong, slightly oblique, series between the 

 choanse, commencing at the inner anterior corner ; lower jaw not 

 provided with bony prominences in the single specimen available 

 for examination ; head moderate, somewhat blunt and narrow ; 

 nostril equidistant from the eye and the tip of the snout ; inter- 

 orbital space very slightly broader than the upper eyelid ; canthus 

 rostralis marked, loreal region concave ; tympanum very distinct, 

 somewhat oval, barely half the diameter of the eye ; fingers rather 

 slender, the first and second nearly equal in length ; toes webbed to 

 the tips, with the tips slightly swollen ; subarticular tubercles well 

 developed, inner metatarsal tubercle elongate, and about two-thirds 

 the length of the inner toe ; no outer tubercle ; a tarsal fold present ; 

 the tibio-tarsal articulation reaches well beyond the tip of the snout ; 

 skin smooth above and below. 



Colour in spirit : above brown, the canthus rostralis and a patch 

 behind the eye embracing the tympanum darker ; a dark line with 

 white edges running from the eye on either side backwards to the 

 sacrum, corresponding in position to the glandular lateral folds, but 

 no trace of a glandular lateral thickening can be distinguished ; legs 

 transversely barred ; below lighter, with darker spots on the lower 

 jaw. 



Length from snout to vent 70 millim. 



Allied to Rana andersonii, but the vomerine teeth commence at the 

 anterior inner edge of the choanse, and the legs are considerably 

 longer, the tibio-tarsal articulation reaching some way beyond the 

 tip of the snout.
